Genealogy records in detail the purpose of the revised family tree, significance and family rules, rituals and all code of conduct. Zhu Xi, Fan Chung-yen and other ancient celebrities, including the articles are included. Reading this family tree, people can actually touch the body of the Chinese Confucian culture. Felt the inquiry of the history of the distant clouds rushing after the emotional and spiritual precipitation.
According to spectra recorded in the history of the area sparsely populated Jiangdong, fertile soil and water, plus another from Kyoto, so soon after the Yuan Dynasty red scarves uprising swept southward invasion of Jiangdong. As the years of war, Yen Chia-Hop communities quite naturally been a serious threat to even the threat of extinction. Thus, in order to avoid war, his family far away to move to the southern Anhui Guniujiang big mountains. Confucian culture in China, the most sacred "Tsunatsune" and the "righteousness" and they are subconsciously driven by a deep hatred of the alien rule. So, even if they later anti-Fuming is justifiable. Jiangnan is the piles of ancient literati place. These people no matter who the dynasty, it is important to maintain this "Tsunatsune" and "righteousness." Therefore, the Jiangnan culture of strict family-created living space.
Even more interesting is that Yan Fu Sheng Gong to the time. Once he went to Shitai fun, feel good here, the scenery, it is appropriate Yinfengnongyue, where self-cultivation. So he picked up his family moved to Shitai which is now strictly an ancient village house.
At that time, Yan Middle Kingdom is the radius of Shiji Li Da no smoke, and are in between the mountains and canyons, little land, What a cold spring is not suitable for planting crops. Fu Sheng Gong movement so his family is not a living space of the expansion, but a cultural move. Can be seen that the concept of Confucian culture, respect for nature is deeply rooted in a strict home.
Yan Middle Kingdom is indeed beautiful. Yan famous Eight Sights still attracts wear red today, wearing green tourists, from the following two poems can be seen:
Fishing off the river stone rocks generated Angeles Persil also bend a fish today, without having to subject the Ziling Fuchunjiang Hermitage.
PTZ breeze Fuxiu clouds open,
Looking to the sky now Shitai Cui Ya-li Dan left the ancient stains Messire I go back to Fu Sheng Gong is regrettable that the life we can not from the family tree in the research, documented the names of several dynasties Yan books have been destroyed during the Cultural Revolution a Torch a. 12 Genealogy Today, only three volumes, this is not only a tragedy of history, but also a cultural tragedy.
Yan Gang Rong only two years on the school, so he is unable to read this family tree. Let us look at the classroom, he worshiped Jiazu couplet:
Easy to say: heaven and earth will carry on;
Poem: three hundred fun.
Obviously, this is also the Yan family forebears made, he just依葫芦画瓢only. Can be sure that he does not understand the meaning of these two sentences. But the commendable is that he is still stubbornly stick to a strict family has all along been advocating Confucian Neo-Confucianism, stay alive to continue the traditional spirit of this core.
Yan Gang Rong uncle told Yan Shifang, was born in fourteen years, graduated from the Daye was in school, took part in the Kuomintang after the period of three clear groups. It was a hurried retreat of the times, can be regarded as in the graduate school of high academic qualifications. As a matter of course he would understand that strict family shoulders the responsibility of offspring. Because of this, he was in the Cultural Revolution only to risk their lives to save the Yan family's genealogy.
Genealogy, a total of three, including two early in the Cultural Revolution burned. Finally only the collections of a set of Yan Shifang. Fanatical Red Guards in the political metamorphosis of the culture of hatred emotions, this is a family tree of course, not spared. Over the years, genealogy has been a long silk string remember his family's honor and the rise and fall of Yan. For deeply traditional Neo-Confucianist influence Yan Shifang seems to be away the bones and muscles. However, he was walking came up with this time? This seems to be a rational philosophy of life issues, we do not need too much thinking. The so-called识时务者为俊杰course, he could at any time to understand the times in front of him would be such a clear three members once the identity of the person's life. Nevertheless, he resolutely and decisively to the revolutionary committee, director of home. The director did not know the word may be due to many years ago, the relationship between the two had a good, perhaps because he was particularly good mood that day, so he unexpectedly received the Yan Shifang, a village used to store such a culture of raid supplies warehouse. Stacked here is likely to have been written in the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty porcelain vase, Ming and Qing painting and calligraphy, but in an age of this malformation are the dross of these things is to resolutely eliminate objects. "Do you want your family tree back to you Take it, then is not a good thing, anyway, big fire a few days once again." This revolutionary committee director 1:00 generosity actually retain the memory of the millennium of the Yan family. Although the 12 family tree in this heap of paper and therefore only find one of the three, Yan Shifang was pretty satisfied. He gingerly took Silver Bears originally belonged to his family or his entire family belong to something sinister wind a particular month, it quietly at night with high hiding in the village of a hill cave.
Time such as water, wind and rain Qianhua Amoy endless. To over seventy when he Huangcun the elderly and free to have a chance to carefully read his empty spectrum. Such a name as mayor, now no one can read and writing a family tree, and this had a heart disease is the elderly. His only hope lies in the only nephew who read the book for two years, so his first poem addressed to his nephew, said:
I left the article can be Diligence sustains Mitsutomo thinkers who your doing is reading how much he wanted his family to have to revive doorway one day. Realized that they were running short for a long time writing a copybook, to allow good practice nephew, and another title on the title page of a poem:
Embrace nothing shallow leaving only the calligraphy in the world and Yousheng 70 will begin to want to study poetry and literature, and asked to fill idle nephew: "The well maintained family tree, if lost, then our family will become the foundation of the person who did not." Yes! We have a long and splendid Chinese nation is the "root" of the nation, let alone such a deeply Confucian cultural influences of the elderly, this "root" of course, will be more intense consciousness.
And Yan-related there is still a very moving story.
The story probably occurred in the late Qing Dynasty. Yan has a daughter married into a neighboring villages Tangjiashan. Day, her daughter back to her parents, mistakenly mountain deed when the paper bag egg back to her husband's family. Tangjia is a big family, relied on a large population, then as a mountain deed, took the lead and forcing the hills. So the dispute from two constant enemies as enemies, and vowed to two families from unreasonable marriage.
As the feet and the boudoir锁不住girls spring heart, over the wall and run away in Chinese history have taken place is like a rich people's daughters Tangjiashan like Yan Jiaqi and a workshop on the master's son is also in no way surprising. But in this marriage can not be independent of the era, such an act has seriously violated the feudal ethics, let alone have any grudges against the earlier Tang Yan 2. As a result, Yan side of a valley to be their rendezvous place.
The development of the story is not as we imagine as the end in tragedy, on the contrary, they are lovers get married. To mark the pairs of male and female tryst in the valley has become today's Qingren Gu had.
Out from the Qingren Gu, Wang teachers have told me that his heart has been heavy, but our feelings do they not heavy. The splendid Chinese culture in today's society, pluralistic development process will be going. Perhaps, every one loves Chinese culture, people are thinking with such a topic.
May Jiangnan, Man Shan, as always, the rhododendrons in full bloom as before. I have this expedition with the USTC Humanities Group Jiangnan trip finally made me realize the Huizhou region profound cultural foundation and the height of the human atmosphere, in particular, had the honor of this remote mountain village into, appreciate ancient common social practice, and human and deep cultural roots. So that we have a comprehensive view of Chinese culture, touch, although it wet, though it heavy, but it's impact in my heart of hearts it is timeless and resonant.
After a qiupu he look back and look again at home in a strict Middle Kingdom. The afterglow of sunset slanting to sprinkle around in this ancient shrine. Is so calm and quiet. (This article by the Chinese Science and Technology Institute of China Rongshida Guniujiang expedition members)
